Looks like Obama is clearing out the top brass just like other leaders have done. Think Hitler, Lenin etc. If you have been watching there have been at least 4 other high ranking admiral and generals recently removed from the post. The admiral of the Stennis battle group was one. Yes, I think he has big plans for a complete take over of the government and first point of order is to eliminate his opposition. Actually some have suggested a military coup was underway. I guess now that he was reelected the gloves are off and he can pretty much do what he wants.

Do some damn research.

Every president makes personel changes after most elections.

Bush Did it. Clinton Did it. Bush Did it again.

THey all make changes after elections!!

Name acting admirals and generals that have been removed from active duty. The Stennis battle group admiral was deployed at the time, this is not your normal replacements!

Putin is in on setting up Barry O, too. Do you really think that any world leader respects someone with a messiah complex or who goes around bowing as a means to denigrate both the population he's supposed to represent AND those he bows to?

I can assure you that tens of thousand of military and CIA people care alot about it. The average joe doesn't matter.

BULLSHIT. Black on black ops are known by those same people. The neocons insistance on politicizing this is clear.

ALL actions are political in nature - black or not. This is the problem with Americans - they are the most naive politically - which is why the USA was relatively easy to take over and use by the parasites. At least now, at the end, some are waking up and standing up. Better late than never.

Sorry you right wing CONservative fascist RepubliCONS who are also conspiracy nuts....

this has nothing to do with anything BUT the affair.Why?

just listen to Fox Noise....that's the Official RepubliCON News Propaganda Maching...and they are being very nice about this, taking Petraus at his word that's it really just about an affair. After all, Petraus was Bush's boy so...you know....the fascists have to tread lightly here.

Sorry guys, no legs on this conspiracy thing about him resigning over Libya....NEXT!!

Better luck next time! Not even your own Party is going to back you up on this one.

No, this means he can't be thrown under the bus for Libya. I think he was going to be blackmailed to keep his mouth shut on Libya, and he jumped out in front of it...

Sounds logical to me

He'll keep quiet. The threat was not about his affair. That is just the cover story.

His family was threatened I'm sure.

I agree ^

Highly likely. Then we'll never hear what Petreus has to say. This is what happens when people align themselves with evil obama. A lifetime of service, a distinguished career gone down the drain.

This guy was being blackmailed. They wanted him to continue to play the administration line on Benghazi. He said no way. They show him pictures of the obama operative that one night standed him 6 months ago. "hey general, i'm sure your wife would hate to see this pic." "fuck you guys, im outta here - you're all going down."

I tend to agree, since tptb basically do whatever they want and the media do what they are scripted...

if they want someone in office, he can do whatever he wants and it will never see the light of day...

this story is a non-story... he may as well have resigned... BUT that would look REALLY suspicious!

he resigned because he cheated on his wife of 37 years so he has 1. more time to pursue the relationship or 2. take his wife on vacation or 3. not testify next week?

It is the stupidest excuse ever. People only resign for sex after they are caught and it is all over the news and they are humiliated. This guy told everyone himself! Whats up with that? craaazy

That is what is so interesting about this - Petraeus has nothing to lose now, but Obama sure does. Interesting times ahead...

He would still have to testify. If he knows something, quitting doesn't let him off the hook. Something else is going on.

Quoting: truthwillsetyoufreeagain

That's what I thought. If he is subpoenaed, it will not matter whether he is director or not. I think Petraeus may have beaten Obama to the punch by outing his affair. Someone is going to be squirming...

Quoting: Rising Son

Don't you think Obama and his cronies would have already thought of that?

It is possible that they have other dirt on Petraeus that is still hanging over his head and if let out would result in Petraeus going to jail.

You will respect and OBEY everything Obama says from now on, our freedoms as we know them are gone with the wind.Bloomberg for example wanted to ban the "big gulp drink". Most people brushed it off and said, I will just buy another smaller drink. Your freedom was taken away right there. It's all about freedom, and you will no longer have it.
